This is a different container and there are rhizomes of Immortality in it, Lin. The foliage is definitely not Iris, I dug one up to see the base and it looks like a bulb of some sort. Mamajack brought me a bunch of stuff a few months ago and I was tucking things in all over the place. So pretty sure I planted it, I just can't remember or figure out what I planted. (She doesn't recognize it, either. )

Looks like some kind of bulb growth, for sure. Did you put any Dutch iris in the pot maybe? Doesn't seem quite the right time for them, but some are early and maybe they got tricked. What I can see reminds me of those in appearance. All the muscaris have popped up here, but unless you've got a new kind, this doesn't fit that. Do you remember if you had bulbs that would be waking up in the fall rather than waiting 'til spring? That might narrow it down.

That's what I was thinking, too. Perhaps it's a summer dormant, winter or very early spring blooming bulb. There was one winter-active bulb in particular that I was very interested in last year, but now I can't remember for the life of me what it was. Something that reminded me of an alstroemeria, I think.

Donald, you may be right. I had several clumps of Dutch Iris that always put up foliage in the Fall. Still bloomed fine in Spring, but did that crazy stuff each and every year. Moved them some months back and could have easily stuck some pieces in this container. Will go Google Dutch Iris foliage and see if I can tell for sure. Thanks.

Sent the photographs to her first--she has no clue, either. She brought me some miscellaneous bulbs she had dug out of her yard. The foliage is staying tubular. Rubbed it and do not smell onion. Dug up one to photograph and I am leaning toward the Dutch Iris??
